Austin City Limits
[#803]
Roy OrbisonThis live version from the August 5, 1982, telecast has been digitally remastered and edited. Roy's appearance was a milestone in the 25-year history of Austin City Limits. He became the first bona fide legend to step onto their stage. His performance took the show to a new level, a larger audience and the status of being a nationally recognized television program. After making a few live appearances at that time, this proved to be the catalyst that brought Roy back to the forefront of the popular music scene. Roy lived up to his reputation of mystique and intrigue. He had just come out of semi-retirement, and not many people had seen him perform live in years. This was certainly his first major performance on television - a full hour - since his comeback began. It was a rare event. From the moment he hit the stage, the audience was on its feet. Many of his songs started with barely a whisper; then they began to vibrate and build, getting more and more intense, until finally, they soared off into the blue to the cheers of the crowd. In the course of the evening, he received more standing ovations than any other performer on any other show.duration 56:46

Marvin Gaye: What's Going OnOne of the great, enduring figures of American music, Marvin Gaye combined gospel, rhythm and blues, soul and jazz to create his own intimate style -- one that reflected his "path of the heart" and, essentially, gave the world his autobiography in lyrics and melody. He was a huge, glamorous and sometime flamboyant performer, he was a Motown star who challenged and changed the face of popular music with records such as his "What's Going On" in 1971 -- full of honesty, vulnerability and, above all, integrity. Yet, his life was also tainted by the bizarre -- full of torment, bitter-sweet success, constant battling with demons and, ultimately, death at the hand of his own father.duration 56:10

Priscilla's Yoga Stretches
[#16]
The 130 programs are designed to air daily, Monday through Friday. The 15- minute segments are frequently coupled together to fill a 30- minute time slot at the option of local programmers. The first three shows demonstrate and explain three to four new postures or exercises per show. The last two shows serve as review so the viewer has a chance to make certain they followed and understood correctly. In addition, if the viewer missed a show, the Thursday and Friday review days bring them up-to-date. At the onset, the program is strictly teaching the "building blocks" of yoga exercise. As the series progresses, the work becomes more demanding. However, there is an effort to always have a fair balance of some basically simple postures mixed in so that everyone will have an opportunity to participate.duration 13:46

Dennis Palumbo (Therapist) Fever DreamsRobert Greene is the bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power. When he wrote The 48 Laws of Power he had no idea it would become a classic and have an effect on some of the most powerful leaders in society. He was truly shocked when hip-hop artist "50 Cent" credited Robert's book for helping him with his own success. In fact, "50 Cent" was so moved by Robert's writing he wanted to collaborate with him; the result is their book The 50th Law. The 50th Law is an insightful look at fear and what we must do to respond to it and set free the power within ourselves.duration 26:46
